Pairing VW radio keys (Articles)

Vehicle types: 1J, 3B, 6E, 6N, 6X.


- Insert the mechanically matching ignition key into the ignition switch.
- Turn on the ignition.
- Select the "Function Adaptation" option in the VCDS diagnostic system.
- Select channel 00 and acknowledge (all learned keys will be deleted).

Sure, here's the translation:

"Note:"
Without deleting the previously learned keys, it is not possible to create a new or additional set of keys.

- Select channel 01.
- Channel value: Press the "0" button four times, then enter the total number of keys to be programmed, including any existing keys (e.g., 00003); a maximum of 4 keys can be programmed.
- Save the modified value.
- For each radio key to be learned, at least one button must be pressed for a minimum of 1 second (in the example above, this applies to 3 keys).
- Turn off the ignition and remove the key.
- Perform a functional test of the (e.g., 3) radio keys.

Sure, here's the translation:

"Note:"
All 3 keys (see example) can be learned during a configuration process.

When adjusting all keys (pressing a key), the time taken must not exceed 15 seconds.

A successful adjustment can be verified using the "Read measurement block" function 08, display group number 013. When the radio key is activated, the first two measurement values should indicate "OK" status. At the same time, the last measurement displays the position of the key (first, second, third, fourth key).

If the remote control key is pressed multiple times, the third indicator, which initially displays "no reading," will change to "O.K."

The key adaptation process will automatically end when:

● the number of keys to be adjusted has been reached.
* A key on the radio key being learned is pressed more frequently.
"The permissible adjustment time of 15 seconds has been exceeded (an error is recorded)."

- Select function 02 "Query fault memory". If no errors are stored, the key adaptation has been successfully completed.
- Turn off the ignition.
